You're skipping every crack on the ground today,
feeling like you'll fall apart.
Every now and then things don't go your way, try again from the start.

One for sorrow, two for joy,
there's no explosions here.
Forgive me now I'm still a boy, this face reduced to tears because...
I saw a bird, I saw a bird falling fast to the ground,
I saw a plan, I saw a plan, it picked a life straight out the sky.

You only read the signs that you've tried to find,
you're only really looking to blame.
Do you ever stop and think there's a balance here?
Will you ever stop playing this game?

One for sorrow, two for joy,
there's no explosion here.
Forgive me now I'm still a boy, this face reduced to tears because...
I saw a bird, I saw a bird falling fast to the ground,
I saw a plan, I saw a plan,
it picked a life straight out the sky,
I saw a bird, I saw a bird falling fast to the ground.
